Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the purification of crude caprolactam, which was obtained by rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime in the gas phase over catalysts containing boron trioxide.
- Caprolactam which was prepared by rearrangement in the gas phase over catalysts containing boron triokide, contains as contaminants, in addition to 0.05 to 5 mol% boric acid, a number of contaminants whose chemical composition is not known. These impurities are characterized by an unpleasant smell and give the caprolactam a high absorption in the ultraviolet range. Both properties are undesirable.
- catalytically produced caprolactam is to be purified by treatment with a base in the presence of toluene and water. This gives 3 layers which have to be separated from one another. Apart from the fact that it cannot be deduced from this how the UV number can be reduced, the separation of 3 phases is technically very complex.
- the advantage of the new process is that it is technically simple to carry out and that impurities which are responsible for the unpleasant smell and the high UV number can be effectively removed in a simple manner.
- Crude caprolactam which is used as the starting material for the purification according to the invention, is obtained, for example, by the process described in DE-AS 10 55 537 by separating caprolactam from such containing vapors in a column with water in countercurrent.
- a melt is assumed, 5 to 30 parts by weight of 100 parts by weight of crude caprolactam contains 'primary alkanols or fatty acids which have a carbon chain' with 6 to 10 carbon atoms and have alkyl radicals with 1 to 5 carbon atoms as substituents.
- Suitable compounds are, for example, 2-ethylhexanol (1), isononanol or isodecanol, and also 2-ethylhexanoic acid.
- the melt also contains 0 to 5, in particular 1 to 4 parts by weight of water per 100 parts by weight of crude caprolactam.
- the melt is produced, for example, by adding the components mentioned to molten crude caprolactam or by melting solid caprolactam together with the components mentioned.
- Such a melt of 100 parts by weight of crude caprolactam, 17.6 parts by weight of 2-ethylhexanol (1) and 3.1 parts by weight of water solidifies at 55 ° C., for example.
- Caprolactam is crystallized from the melt described above by cooling. It is advantageous to cool to a temperature of 10 to 30 ° C., in particular 15 to 25 ° C. Crystallization is carried out in devices known for crystallization in the art, as described, for example, in "Basic Operation Chemical Process Engineering” by W.R.A. Vauk and H.A. Müller, publisher Theodor Steinkopff, Dresden and Leipzig, 1966, 2nd edition, pages 528 to 535 in the chapter “Crystallizers" are performed. The crystallized caprolactam is then separated from the mother liquor, e.g. by decanting or in particular by spinning.
- the cleaning operation according to the invention can be repeated several times.
- the caprolactam contained in the mother liquor is expediently recovered by distillation and returned to the crude caprolactam.
- the same Recovered alkanols and carboxylic acids are also used again for the cleaning operation.
- the impurities are removed as a residue.
- caprolactam purified by the process of the invention is more appropriately distilled again before it is used again.
- Caprolactam is suitable for the production of polyamides.
- the process according to the invention is illustrated by the following examples.
- Analyzers 1 registering single-beam spectrometer (Carl Zeiss DMR / 21), 1 Erlenmeyer flask (200 ml), 2 quartz cuvettes with lid 10 cm long (layer thickness 10 cm).
- caprolactam 50 mg caprolactam are coldly dissolved in 50 g bidistilled water in an Erlenmeyer flask. This solution is used to fill a cuvette up to the calibration mark. The second cuvette is filled with the same double-distilled water and is the reference solution.
- both cuvettes are closed with the lids, the ground surfaces are cleaned with tissue paper and inserted into the cuvette holder. Then the spectrum between 370 nm and 260 nm is recorded according to the device instructions. The registration speed is 50. The absorbance measurement is carried out in the measuring range 0-1.
- the sum of the 10 extinction values is multiplied by 2 and gives the UV index.
- the UV index is therefore always based on 100% caprolactam and a layer thickness of 10 cm.

Description
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zur Reinigung von Rohcaprolactam, das durch Umlagerung von Cyclohexanonoxim in der Gasphase an Bortrioxid enthaltenden Katalysatoren erhalten wurde.The invention relates to a process for the purification of crude caprolactam, which was obtained by rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime in the gas phase over catalysts containing boron trioxide.
Caprolactam, das durch Umlagerung in der Gasphase an Bor- triokid enthaltenden Katalysatoren hergestellt wurde, enthält als Verunreinigungen neben 0,05 bis 5 Mol-% Borsäure noch eine Reihe von Verunreinigungen, deren chemische Zusammensetzung nicht bekannt ist. Diese Verunreinigungen zeichnen sich durch einen unangenehmen Geruch aus und verleihen dem Caprolactam eine hohe Absorption im ultravioletten Bereich. Beide Eigenschaften sind unerwünscht. Entsprechend der DE-OS 25 50 934 soll katalytisch hergestelltes Caprolactam gereinigt werden, durch Behandeln mit einer Base in Gegenwart von Toluol und Wasser-Hierbei erhält man 3 Schichten, die von einander getrennt'werden müssen. Abgesehen davon, daß hieraus nicht zu entnehmen ist wie die UV-Zahl gesenkt werden kann, ist die Trennung von 3 Phasen technisch sehr aufwendig. Ferner ist aus der DE-OS 26 41 478 ein Verfahren zur Reinigung von Caprolactam aus der Gasphasenunlagerung bekannt, bei dem man das Rohlactam in Anwesenheit von Wasser mit Kaliumpermanganat behandelt und anschließend aus einem Lösungsmittel umkristallisiert. Die Behandlung mit Kaliumpermanganat ist in sofern aufwendig, als das ausgeschiedene Mangandioxid leicht abzutrennen ist .Caprolactam, which was prepared by rearrangement in the gas phase over catalysts containing boron triokide, contains as contaminants, in addition to 0.05 to 5 mol% boric acid, a number of contaminants whose chemical composition is not known. These impurities are characterized by an unpleasant smell and give the caprolactam a high absorption in the ultraviolet range. Both properties are undesirable. According to DE-OS 25 50 934, catalytically produced caprolactam is to be purified by treatment with a base in the presence of toluene and water. This gives 3 layers which have to be separated from one another. Apart from the fact that it cannot be deduced from this how the UV number can be reduced, the separation of 3 phases is technically very complex. Furthermore, from DE-OS 26 41 478 a process for the purification of caprolactam from the gas phase storage is known, in which the crude lactam is treated with potassium permanganate in the presence of water and then circulated from a solvent installed. The treatment with potassium permanganate is costly insofar as the manganese dioxide which has been eliminated can be easily separated off.
Es war deshalb die technische Aufgabe gestellt, ein einfaches, technisch nicht aufwendiges Verfahren zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei dem es gelingt, die Verunreinigungen auszuscheiden,.die für den unangenehmen Geruch und die hohe UV-Zahl verantwortlich sind. Ferner soll gleichzeitig die enthaltene Borsäure abgetrennt werden.It was therefore the technical task to provide a simple, technically not complex process in which it is possible to remove the impurities which are responsible for the unpleasant smell and the high UV number. Furthermore, the boric acid contained should be separated off at the same time.
Diese technische Aufgäbe wird gelöst in einem Verfahren zur Reinigung von Rohcaprolactam, das durch Umlagerung von Cyclohexancnoxim in der Gasphase an Bortrioxid enthaltenen Katalysatoren erhalten wurde, wobei man aus einer Schmelze, die je ICO Gewichtsteile Rohcaprolactam, 5 bis 30 Gewichtsteile primäre Alkanole oder Fettsäuren, die eine Kchlenstoffkette mit 6 bis 10 Kohlenstoffatomen haben, und Alkylreste mit 1 bis 5 Kohlenstoffatomen als Substituenten aufweisen sowie 0 bis 30 Gewichtsteilen Wasser enthält,durch Abkühlen Caprolactam auskristallisiert und von der Mutterlauge trennt.These technical problems are solved in a process for the purification of crude caprolactam, which was obtained by rearrangement of cyclohexane noxime in the gas phase over catalysts containing boron trioxide, 5 to 30 parts by weight of primary alkanols or fatty acids being obtained from a melt, the ICO parts by weight of crude caprolactam have a carbon chain with 6 to 10 carbon atoms, and have alkyl radicals with 1 to 5 carbon atoms as substituents and contains 0 to 30 parts by weight of water, crystallized caprolactam by cooling and separated from the mother liquor.
Das neue Verfahren hat den Vorteil, daβ es technisch einfach durchführbar ist, und Verunreinigungen, die für den unangenehmen Geruch und die hohe UV-Zahl verantwortlich sind, auf einfache Weise wirksam entfernt werden.The advantage of the new process is that it is technically simple to carry out and that impurities which are responsible for the unpleasant smell and the high UV number can be effectively removed in a simple manner.
Rohcaprolactam, das als Ausgangsstoff für die erfindungsgemäβe Reinigung verwendet wird, erhält man beispielsweise nach dem in der DE-AS 10 55 537 beschriebenen Verfahren durch Abscheiden von Caprolactam aus solchen enthaltenden Dämpfen in einer Kolonne mit Wasser im Gegenstrom. Für die Reinigungsoperation geht man von einer Schmelze aus, die je 100 Gewichtsteile Rohcaprolactam 5 bis 30 Gewichtsteile 'primäre Alkanole oder Fettsäuren, die eine Kohlenstoffkette' mit 6 bis 10 Kohlenstoffatomen haben und Alkylreste mit 1 bis 5 Kohlenstoffatomen als Substituenten aufweisen, enthält. Geeignete Verbindungen sind beispielsweise 2-Äthyl- hexanol-(1), Isononanol oder Isodecanol, ferner 2-Äthylhexansäure. Besonders bewährt haben sich primäre Alkanole der genannten Kohlenstoffzahl, insbesondere 2-Äthylhexanol-(1). Ferner enthält die Schmelze 0 bis 5, insbesondere 1 bis 4 Gewichtsteile Wasser je 100 Gewichtsteile Rohcaprolactam. Die Schmelze wird beispielsweise hergestellt, indem man zu geschmolzenem Rohcaprolactam die genannten Komponenten zugibt oder festes Caprolactam zusammen mit den genannten Komponentan aufschmilzt. Eine solche Schmelze aus 100 Gewichtsteilen Rohcaprolactam, 17,6 Gewichtsteilen 2-Äthyl- hexanol-(1) und 3,1 Gewichtsteilen Wasser erstarrt bei- spielsweise bei 55°C.Crude caprolactam, which is used as the starting material for the purification according to the invention, is obtained, for example, by the process described in DE-AS 10 55 537 by separating caprolactam from such containing vapors in a column with water in countercurrent. For the cleaning operation, a melt is assumed, 5 to 30 parts by weight of 100 parts by weight of crude caprolactam contains 'primary alkanols or fatty acids which have a carbon chain' with 6 to 10 carbon atoms and have alkyl radicals with 1 to 5 carbon atoms as substituents. Suitable compounds are, for example, 2-ethylhexanol (1), isononanol or isodecanol, and also 2-ethylhexanoic acid. Primary alkanols of the stated carbon number, in particular 2-ethylhexanol (1), have proven particularly useful. The melt also contains 0 to 5, in particular 1 to 4 parts by weight of water per 100 parts by weight of crude caprolactam. The melt is produced, for example, by adding the components mentioned to molten crude caprolactam or by melting solid caprolactam together with the components mentioned. Such a melt of 100 parts by weight of crude caprolactam, 17.6 parts by weight of 2-ethylhexanol (1) and 3.1 parts by weight of water solidifies at 55 ° C., for example.
Aus der oben beschriebenen Schmelze wird durch Abkühlen Caprolactam auskristallisiert. Vorteilhaft kühlt man auf eine Temperatur von 10 bis 30°C, insbesondere von 15 bis 25°C ab. Die Kristallisation wird in Vorrichtungen, die für die Kristallisation in der Technik bekannt sind, wie sie beispielsweise in "Grundoperation Chemischer Verfahrenstechnik" von W.R.A. Vauk und H.A. Müller, Verlag Theodor Steinkopff, Dresden und Leipzig, 1966, 2. Auflage, Seiten 528 bis 535 in dem Kapitel "Kristallisatoren" beschrieben sind, durchgeführt. Das auskristallisierte Caprolactam wird dann von der Mutterlauge abgetrennt, z.B. durch Dekantieren oder insbesondere durch Abschleudern.Caprolactam is crystallized from the melt described above by cooling. It is advantageous to cool to a temperature of 10 to 30 ° C., in particular 15 to 25 ° C. Crystallization is carried out in devices known for crystallization in the art, as described, for example, in "Basic Operation Chemical Process Engineering" by W.R.A. Vauk and H.A. Müller, publisher Theodor Steinkopff, Dresden and Leipzig, 1966, 2nd edition, pages 528 to 535 in the chapter "Crystallizers" are performed. The crystallized caprolactam is then separated from the mother liquor, e.g. by decanting or in particular by spinning.
Je nach dem Gehalt an Verunreinigungen reicht eine einmalige Reinigungsoperation oder falls erforderlich kann die erfindungsgemäße Reinigungsoperation mehrmals wiederholt werden. Zweckmäßig wird aus der Mutterlauge das darin enthaltene Caprolactam durch Destillation zurückgewonnen und wieder dem Rohcaprolactam zugeführt. Die ebenfalls zurückgewonnenen Alkanole und Carbonsäuren werden ebenfalls" wieder für die Reinigungsoperation verwendet. Die Verunreinigungen werden als Rückstand aufgeschleust.Depending on the content of impurities, a single cleaning operation is sufficient or, if necessary, the cleaning operation according to the invention can be repeated several times. The caprolactam contained in the mother liquor is expediently recovered by distillation and returned to the crude caprolactam. The same Recovered alkanols and carboxylic acids are also used again for the cleaning operation. The impurities are removed as a residue.

Prinzip: In Spektralbereich von 360 bis 270 nm wird die Absorption des Caprolactams gemessen und nach Umsetzung in einer Kennzahl ausgedrückt.Principle: In the spectral range from 360 to 270 nm, the absorption of caprolactam is measured and, after implementation, expressed in a key figure.
Analysengeräte: 1 registrierendes Einstrahlspektralphonometer (Carl Zeiss DMR/21), 1 Erlenmeyerkolben (200 ml), 2 Quarz-Küvetten mit Deckel 10 cm lang (Schichtdicke 10 cm).Analyzers: 1 registering single-beam spectrometer (Carl Zeiss DMR / 21), 1 Erlenmeyer flask (200 ml), 2 quartz cuvettes with lid 10 cm long (layer thickness 10 cm).
Vorschrift: 50 mg Caprolactam werden in einem Erlenmeyerkolben in 50 g bidestilliertem Wasser kalt aufgelöst. Mit dieser Lösung wird eine Küvette bis zur Eichmarke gefüllt. Die zweite Küvette wird mit dem gleichen bidestillierten Wasser gefüllt und stellt die Vergleichslösung dar.Prescription: 50 mg caprolactam are coldly dissolved in 50 g bidistilled water in an Erlenmeyer flask. This solution is used to fill a cuvette up to the calibration mark. The second cuvette is filled with the same double-distilled water and is the reference solution.
Nun werden beide Küvetten mit den Deckeln verschlossen, die geschliffenen Flächen mit Seidenpapier gereinigt und in die Küvettenhalter eingesetzt. Dann wird gemäß Geräteanleitung das Spektrum zwischen 370 nm und 260 nm aufgenommen. Die Registriergeschwindigkeit beträgt 50. Die Extinktionsmessung wird im Meßbereich 0-1 ausgeführt.Now both cuvettes are closed with the lids, the ground surfaces are cleaned with tissue paper and inserted into the cuvette holder. Then the spectrum between 370 nm and 260 nm is recorded according to the device instructions. The registration speed is 50. The absorbance measurement is carried out in the measuring range 0-1.
Ist die Aufnahme beendet, wird von 270 bis 360 nm alle 10 nm eine Markierung auf dem Papier angebracht.When recording is complete, a mark is made on the paper every 10 nm from 270 to 360 nm.
Auswertung: Aus dem Diagramm werden die Extinktionen bei 270, 280, 290, 300, 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 und 360 nm abgelesen und addiert.Evaluation: The absorbances at 270, 280, 290, 300, 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 and 360 nm are read from the diagram and added.
Die Summe der 10 Extinktionswerte wird mit 2 multipliziert und ergibt die UV-Kennzahl. Die UV-Kennzahl wird also immer auf 100 %iges Caprolactam und auf eine Schichtdicke von 10 cm bezogen.The sum of the 10 extinction values is multiplied by 2 and gives the UV index. The UV index is therefore always based on 100% caprolactam and a layer thickness of 10 cm.
